if i understand it correctly (and believe me, it's taking me a while to actually get it as i read it right now), a +45 means the mounting hub is 10mm further out from the center of the wheel, than the +35

right ? i hope... i keep reading things over and i'm still not sure

correct, +35 means the wheel will mount 35 mm past the center of the wheel; +45, 45 mm past the center. So the 17x8+35 will stick out 10mm further than the +45 offset. And I believe a 17x8+35 will put the wheel just about flush with the fender.
